Coyote vs ACME

Coyote vs ACME (2026) takes one of animation’s most enduring gags—Acme gadgets that backfire at the worst possible moment—and asks a surprisingly satisfying question: what happens when Wile E. Coyote stops buying and starts suing? Framed as an adventure-comedy for the whole family, the film pivots from canyon-side calamities to legal brinkmanship, without losing the elastic, Looney energy that made the rivalry iconic.

After yet another string of Acme failures sabotages his unwavering pursuit of the Roadrunner, Wile E. decides he’s had enough. Instead of ordering a bigger rocket or a trickier trap, he hires a billboard-level attorney and aims his frustration straight at the source: the Acme Corporation. The result is a story that treats every malfunction as evidence, every near-miss as testimony, and every classic setup as a new kind of punchline.

Directed by Dave Green, the movie leans into the contrast between cartoon logic and real-world rules. That tension becomes the engine of the comedy: a case that tries to be “serious” keeps getting sideswiped by physics-defying stunts, corporate spin, and the stubborn optimism of a coyote who refuses to quit—even when the fine print says he should.

The cast helps ground the chaos in character-driven laughs, with Will Forte at the center of the legal mayhem alongside Lana Condor, Tone Bell, John Cena, P.J. Byrne, Martha Kelly, and Luis Guzmán. Meanwhile, Eric Bauza brings animated familiarity to the mix, ensuring the film’s comedic rhythm still feels connected to the classic rivalry—even as the setting expands beyond the desert.

More than a novelty premise, Coyote vs ACME plays like a playful collision of generations: kids can enjoy the big physical gags and clear stakes, while longtime fans catch the winks to decades of Acme mishaps.
